About
Hello, I'm Jarrett
I’m a designer, consultant, and co-founder with more than 15 years of experience across UX, product, and brand design. My career has included work with global design agencies, Fortune 500 companies, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits, as well as service on the Graphic Design Advisory Board at Northern Virginia Community College.
I approach design with curiosity and a systems perspective, seeking to understand the people, context, and processes behind the work. I’m drawn to the gaps between organizational intent and lived experience, and to the role design can play in bringing clarity to ambiguity.
As co-founder and Principal Creative at Bridg Consulting Firm, I apply that approach by helping leaders navigate organizational change and communication challenges. My work at Bridg extends beyond traditional UX design to include executive strategy, organizational thinking, and the strategic questions that sit upstream of design.
Much of my broader curiosity centers on meaning and human experience. I’m particularly interested in theological anthropology and its exploration of what it means to be human. This perspective also shapes how I think about design and its influence on how people understand themselves and the world around them. My education reflects these overlapping interests and includes degrees in Communication Design and Interactive Design from Northern Virginia Community College, a UX Certification from Nielsen Norman Group, and certificates in Biblical Studies and Biblical History from the AWKNG School of Theology.
I live in Virginia with my wife, Jess, and our five children.

How I work
Understand deeply.
Design deliberately.
Good design starts with understanding. Before moving toward solutions, it is important to understand the people, the context, and the constraints surrounding the opportunity. Deeper understanding provides greater confidence in design decisions and reduces the guesswork that can lead to solutions that look right but solve the wrong problem.
01
Understand
Qualitative research, observation, and empathy building reveal the real-world pain points, environmental distractions, and contextual factors that shape how people experience a problem.
02
Define
Research synthesis, problem framing, and defined principles bring the opportunity into focus, ensuring that each design decision is grounded in what was learned.
03
Design
Concept exploration, prototyping, and iteration turn those principles into tangible solutions, allowing ideas to be evaluated early and developed with clarity and confidence.
04
Refine
Testing, feedback, and continued observation reveal what is working, what remains unclear, and which details need further attention before the final solution is complete.
